Feed a Bee
- Why do bees matter? Bees are the world’s most effective pollinators and are responsible for one third of the food we eat. Here are three easy ways you can help save the bees!
Plant Flowers
Plant organic, bee-friendly flowers. Here are just a few that can be grown in most parts of the U.S.
• Lavender
• Rosemary
• Sage
• Coneflower
• Sunflower
• Catnip
• Aster
• Oregano
Pass on the Chemicals
Don’t use toxic chemicals in your home or in your gardens. Find Earth-friendly alternatives. You can also let the weeds ‘bee’ until the bees have had a chance to access their nector-rich blooms.
ADDED BENEFIT: Weeds often draw butterflies and a variety of beneficial insects to your garden.
Keep it Local
If you use honey, purchase raw, organic honey from local, sustainable beekeepers.
